Fitting it all in.

I have to admit I feel like I am utilising every minute right now and squeezing in everything I can. I work 5 hours a day most weeks although have different shifts as I am part time. Travelling to and from work reading my book, working, continuing to enter competitions to help get some luxuries in life and doing as much writing as possible. This weekend I have also planned a murder mystery dinner party with friends coming over. So I also have to plan what to cook, buy the food, sort out fancy dress including making a nun habit for my husband and discover a way to seat eight people around our rather small dining room table that can just about seat six!

I had hoped to have made a start on the flash fiction piece by now but as yet the idea I had remains that. So I have a plan for the next three days, let's just hope I stick to it! My work shift is 10-3 for the next three days so my plan is to get a lift into work with my husband. This means I will arrive about 2 hours early but with my laptop in tow I will lodge myself in the basement (staff room) and set to writing. The advantage of doing this is mainly removing the distractions of home and I don't really have internet access their so the distractions of twitter and the like will also be removed. Then once I have finished work at 3 I can spend the afternoon carrying on with everything else. By committing this time it should in the least mean getting the flash fiction piece of work finished.

About Me

Ever since I can remember I have written as a hobby. This blog is about me trying to turn writing into something more than a hobby.
Born in Margate, Kent in 1981 I left home to train as a physiotherapist in London. After qualifying in 2002 I moved to Southampton and worked for the next 6 years in the NHS. Shortly after qualifying I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis following several years with an eye condition. Gradually with a combination of my illness and the side effects of many medications I opted to leave the NHS to safeguard my future health. I now work part-time in a Shopmobility and have been concentrating on improving my health. Now my health is improving I am spending more time concentrating on my writing. This blog will outline the projects I am getting on with, how I get on, any competitions I plan to enter them into and anything else that may be of interest.
